Hi, all. In vocal scores i often put soprano and alto in one staff and use soprano lyrics with a lot of skips, so soprano has lyrics only if it differs from alto's lyrics.
Please, masters, take a look at this fragment -- melisma line in soprano voice extends too far, over skips, rests and skips again: \version "2.11.42" % is this the problem? upper = \relative c'' { c4 c c c ~ c1 ~ c4 c -"skip!" r c -"skip!" c4 -"skip!" c c c } lower = \relative a' { a4 a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a } uplyr = \lyricmode { la -- la -- la -- la __ \repeat "unfold" 3 { \skip 1 } la -- la -- la } lolyr = \lyricmode { la -- la -- la -- la, la -- la -- la -- la, la -- la -- la -- la, la, la -- la -- la! } \score { \new Staff = "staff" << \new Voice = "upper" { \voiceOne \upper } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } \lyricsto "upper" \uplyr \new Voice = "lower" { \voiceTwo \lower } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "lower" \lolyr >> } Thank you. -- Dmytro O.
